| Research Abstract |
To evaluate a sleep improvement program from the viewpoint of preventive care, questionnaire and actual condition surveys were conducted. The results of these surveys indicated that the sleep time of the elderly was 6.8 hours. Patients in the favorable group had well-maintained sleep with a short duration of interruption, and their daytime activities included hobbies, outings, and many other activities. Furthermore, they were in good subjective physical condition and mental health. The frequency of practicing lifestyle habits that could prove effective in sleep initiation was also high in the favorable group. These findings indicated the need to incorporate these habits in the sleep improvement program for the unfavorable group.
